WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT CANON

What we like best about Canon Large Format solutions in addition to reliable performance, is the amount of extras you receive in the box. If you look at the “What’s Inside” tab on our website, you can see all the specifics. When you buy Canon, in addition to the print drivers you would expect, you receive a starter set of inks and an accounting software, to keep track of you ink and paper costs, and print layout tools to avoid wasting paper. You also receive access to additional software, including PosterArtist Lite software for creating posters, and smartphone push notifications for job completion or errors, enabling you to check print status while away from the printer.
